Chapter 95
"Swearing and swearing are useless. Even if half the people in the world die, it won't be too much," Shen Jiao said disapprovingly. "Since the young master has come, what's the big deal about just leaving? We know that the young master went there out of kindness to save someone, but we don't know who the young master is dissatisfied with, so he just left in a huff. What should we do if he causes trouble again?"
"Sir, saving people is the most important thing." Wei Qian argued.
"Sir, saving people is important, but you are more important. Time waits for no one, so please make a decision early." Shen Jiao's usual gentleness and kindness had disappeared at this moment, and she was surprisingly sharp. Yuge'er looked at her with surprise in her eyes.
But she didn't care and stared at Xue Shun without blinking.
She told him to make a decision early, but it seemed more like she was asking him - will you listen to him or me?
Xue Shun usually let her do as she pleased, but this time he was really hesitant.
"Young Master." Shen Jiao's brows softened and she called him seriously again.
Xue Shun: ...
"Go ahead," he said with difficulty, "It's cold at night, put on some more clothes, you..."
Xue Shun swallowed all his emotions and unnecessary words, leaving only one reminder: "Go early and come back early, be careful on the road, I'll wait for you here."
Shen Jiao heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at Wei Qian, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to return before the hunt begins tomorrow."
"Um."
Shen Jiao grabbed some things and was about to leave when Xue Shun stopped her, threw his cloak over her, tied the straps, and said, "Don't be so hasty. It's not safe at night. Ask someone to go with you. I gave you a knife, don't you have it with you?"
"I brought it." The more life-saving things, the better. How could Shen Jiao not bring it?
Xue Shun nodded: "That's good, go ahead."
There was some struggle in his eyes, but he didn't call out to her until Shen Jiao opened the curtain and plunged into the night.
Wei Qian sighed, "Sir, she's a medicine slave, not a doctor. You can't rely on her for this kind of thing."
"Don't we still have Doctor Sun? His medical skills are not bad either." Xue Shun lowered his eyes and said calmly, "As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate, but human power is ultimately limited. If this is his fate, it would be in vain for anyone to help..."
Do your best and leave the rest to fate, but you have to really do your best, right?
Wei Qian wanted to speak, but didn't dare. He chuckled and said, "Young Master, you are right. Let's just do our best. I, Wei, should make the medicine for you. If we wait any longer, we will miss the time."
He silently took out the medicine bag and boiled it in front of the small stove.
Xue Shun didn't say anything and sat back at the table to write. After writing a few strokes, he became distracted again. The ink on the pen dripped down and wet the paper. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, but it was in vain. The more he wiped, the dirtier it became.
It's useless, he knew it a long time ago.
Once something gets dirty, no matter what you do, it can never be restored to its original state.
He had no choice.
But Shen Jiao... Shen Jiao...
Xue Shun looked at the name he wrote subconsciously, his ink-stained hand trembled slightly, and he didn't even dare to touch those words, for fear of staining the paper even more.
My heart is filled with sadness.
His stomach sensed his depressed mood and began to churn again, making his heart feel stuffy.
It shouldn't be like this.
Xue Shun closed his eyes.
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
He may not have thought that Shen Jiao would be a bad person, but there was no way she was. While he was worrying here, Shen Jiao, who was rushing back, was already thinking about how to hurt people.
What else can we do?
She couldn't really ask Doctor Sun to take her pulse. If he saw something, it would be over.
The master is really something. He didn’t even give me a packet of laxatives.
Fortunately, she was smart and brought some with her when she came out. Later, she handed over a batch from Wei Qian, and there were some that were really usable.
Shen Jiao asked Yuge'er to go to the pharmacy to ask for a doctor, while he hurried to Liao'e Courtyard to get the medicine.
Then take Qiongzhi to meet them.
Li Li'niang, who was waiting outside, was almost going crazy with anxiety.
Don’t think that her father leads people to Tongcai Villa to deliver things every day, and seems very capable in the eyes of the farmers, but what is the reality?
In other people's eyes, they are just slaves who grow crops and deliver vegetables.
If she really wanted to ask her master for something, it would be difficult to find someone to pass the message. She spent a lot of time and effort, stuffed a lot of money, and waited for a long time before someone came. This delayed her for most of the day. The master would not let her stay, and she did not dare to leave, so she could only pull the ox cart and wait by the roadside.
The mosquito bites made her whole body itchy, and one of her eyelids was so swollen that she couldn't open it.
She didn't dare to move easily, feeling confused.
She couldn't even figure out whether those who asked her for money were really helping her or just pretending to help. She just gave it to them as soon as they asked for it.
Is there a scammer?
Of course there was. She clearly saw that the old woman who asked her for money didn't move at all. She took the money and sat inside to have tea with others.
A'niang asked her to bring a hundred taels of silver, saying that if all else failed, she should give it all to the other party and also hire a good doctor.
Li Li'niang felt like crying. She hadn't even seen the doctor, and only a few dimes were left.
What if it was all a lie to her?
She didn't dare to think any further and waved the grass branch in her hand to drive away mosquitoes for Niu Wazi.
The cow was so tired that its tail was too lazy to move.
She felt a little regretful. She was in too much of a hurry to come out and shouldn't have dragged the ox out. It was too old. She forgot to unload the truck bed last night, and it had been standing all day today. She didn't know if it would be able to run again in a while.
Jin Shuisheng, who was accompanying her, came back with his bare chest filled with grass and placed it in Niu Wazi's mouth. "Eat quickly! A full stomach will give you more energy to work. We're counting on you later. Sister Li Niang, stop busying yourself and take a rest over there. I'm watching you and won't miss you."
The cow lazily chewed the grass twice and stopped eating.
Jin Shuisheng was a little anxious: "What's wrong with you? Don't you like to eat?"
"Probably thirsty."
As soon as Li Li'niang opened her mouth, two cracks appeared on her lips. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything since this morning.
Jin Shuisheng was in a dilemma: "There's no way. There's nothing to hold the water, but there's a puddle over there."
But who dares to go now?
"Hold on," Li Li'niang patted the ox's back. "When we get home, I'll give you a good drink and the best food, including your favorite peanuts. My dad has half a bag hidden, and I'll fry half for you."
The cowboy mooed meekly.
Li Li Niang wiped her moist eyes.
Looking in that direction again, I vaguely saw a little fire.
She hurriedly stepped forward. Jin Shuisheng hurriedly put on his clothes and picked up some grass and handed it to the cow: "Have a few more bites."
Niu Wazi was considerate enough to chew two bites and then refused to eat again.
Shen Jiao also came closer with a lantern.
Yuge'er had been sent back by her. Standing next to her at the moment were Qiongzhi and a doctor named Cheng, who looked to be in his thirties, with a goatee, and looked quite... like a charlatan.
I don't know if it's reliable or not.
Doctor Sun followed his masters. There were only a few strangers in the pharmacy. Yuge'er went around and asked everyone, and only this one was willing to come along.
Shen Jiao is not picky, it would be better if it wasn't Doctor Sun.
She pretended to be anxious and hurried over. Seeing Li Li Niang's face full of lumps, she almost couldn't hold it in...
Fortunately, she turned her eyes away in time: "I'm late, it's good to have a car. Doctor Cheng, please get in quickly, we can talk on the way."
She grabbed Li Li'niang and climbed into the car breathlessly.
He looked exhausted, with his hair messed up by the wind.
She didn't care and took out a box of medicine from her pocket and said, "Look at your two faces, they are bitten into pieces. Quickly wipe them off. I'll catch the car..."
